Whoever is in need of a light comedy should watch this. Expect many hilarious moments. Nagase Tomoya is very expressive, you'll most likely burst into laughter at the mere sight of him. However, expect some depth too. They handle serious matters as well: redefining one's life, learning about true love and friendship, surpassing one's limits. These are all expressed very well and they transition smoothly into and out of the humour. You'll find some very touching moments too, but that's definitely not the defining theme of the drama. It's almost entirely comical. And despite basing itself on serious matters, it manages to stay light enough to be enjoyable as pure comedy.
Acting: I was quite surprised actually. Given the obscurity of this drama I thought they would probably have a bunch of mediocre actors, but these kids are brilliant! They exceeded my expectations. Almost all of them anyway.
Music: It was SPLENDID. I fell in love with the ending theme from the very first second. And the music throughout the show is also very entertaining; it goes well with each scene and just lifts your spirits. For a pretty underrated drama, the music was exquisite. Too good to ignore. It wasn't just a soundtrack, it was a lot more powerful. In some scenes my attention was actually stolen by the music than the action.

I actually just finished it, and I can say that if ur in need of a laugh, this is the drama for u. From the very first episode (which I think is the funniest), this drama will force u into fits of laughter tht u'll need to pause it just to catch ur breath. Seriously, I started watching this last night, and I was laughing so much tht I was literally crying. Nagase Tomoya is hysterical. I did start watching the drama for him, and I'm glad I did.
Other than the hilarity of it all, My Boss, My Hero is a decent story overall. It won't leave you frustrated, and the ending wraps up nicely. It's the story of Makio, a 27 year old yakuza heir, who is so much of an idiot tht his father sends him back to high school to get his high school diploma. If he fails, he won't get to be the next boss. Through his journey, he learns what it means to really be a part of a class. Friendship, love, and most of all, youth. I think the biggest theme of this drama is youth, and how you've got to enjoy it when you've still got it. Makio learns a great deal from his class, but in return, he teaches them as well.
This is a great drama to marathon, as it's not dull, and is very short (as most jdramas). The beginning and ending song is so catchy, I just love it! And you will never forget Nagase's performance, his faces are absolutely hysterical. Give it a chance, you won't be bored!

The story is simple and yet deeper than it seems. It starts as a funny comedy ending one of the best endings I've ever seen. I laughed a lot, I also was about to cry, even though I've never cried for something like this (drama, anime, games or anything else).
I loved the characters of this show, every single character was a very good character, even the ones that I didn't like in the beginning. I especially loved Makio's character, the protagonist. But the acting wasn't always excellent, there were a lot of scenes where it was lacking but there were even more scenes that were really well acted: the comedic scenes, the serious scenes and Makio's rapefaces (Ah, never forget them).
The music was good. I didn't like so much the opening song but I loved the ending, for the song and for the role of "ending" the episode.

Sakaki is the older son of the Yakuza leader. He is the one that will be in charge of the gang, but, because of a stupid math mistake that causes a great loss of Money, his father says that, in order to become the next Yakuza leader he has to graduate from high School. He goes to the last year of high school, undercover because no one can know he is related to Yakuza. How can na Yakuza go undercover to the school? From the way of talking to the attitude we think that it will be a disaster!
At first he hates it, but then he learns more than just Physics or English. This drama remind me of "Beauty and the Beast". Because even an Yakuza leader-to-be can have a heart, if someone dares to see it.
This is pure comedy,with feelings inside. Friendship, love, loyalty, it's all in here! Nagase Tomoya is HILARIOUS and I laughed so hard with his faces, and his way of talking that my belly hurt. Its is a good drama if you are looking for a good, light comedy. The final song fits like a glove, it's awesome! Now when I hear it I can only imagine Sakaki.
I hope you enjoy it. :)

i feel kinda satisfied and disappointed at the same time..
although its funny throughout and remain slapstick all the way...
the dramatic moment is kinda cheesy for the sake of presenting lesson to audience.
the story is predictable but it is intended as it focus on giving the audience laughter and lessons
ps: add 1 to 2 points overall if you really like comedies more than anything else ^^

Makio was a very good character! (I need to mention Nagase-san faces were on point? He did a stupendous job lol), rest of the cast did a good job too. I'm amazed of how much I enjoyed this dorama. It's also the first japanese series with real actors that I complete, so it's great that I truly enjoyed it!
The Agnes' pudding is another thing that goes to the list of desired-ones-from-fiction in my mind.
A ridiculous, fun, lovely series to watch and enjoy if you are feeling high or low. When I started the first episode (each episode it's about 1 hour 10 minutes) never thought I was going to cry a few episodes later, cry and laugh at the same time lol. The Yakuzas never were so cool. Kazuya was adorable.
I really recommend it to everyone.
